The FXST bolt-on strain gauge sensor provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for industrial vessel weighing applications where traditional load cell systems are challenging to install. Designed for direct attachment to support legs, frames, and structural members of silos, hoppers, tanks, and storage vessels, this strain sensor measures load-induced deformation to estimate weight levels without requiring extensive mechanical changes. Its compact external installation design makes it ideal for retrofit projects, reducing installation complexity, downtime, and overall system costs.

Functioning as a practical alternative to conventional weighing devices, the FXST surface mount strain transducer delivers dependable performance for monitoring high-force applications where maximum precision is not essential. The screw-on mounting method allows easy integration while maintaining the original operation and structural integrity of the equipment. For accurate measurement results, proper calibration is recommended before operation. Forsentek also supports customized solutions for customers seeking replacements for existing products, offering tailored designs and competitive options to meet specific application requirements.
